Property Details
Description
A stunning pre-war between Fifth and Madison Avenues. Formerly owned by legendary performer and activist Lena Horne, this home has been completely gut renovated for one to enjoy the optimal proportion and layout for flexible living. No stone was left unturned in this immaculate and pin-drop quiet one-bedroom, one-bathroom home. Welcomed by a gracious entry foyer that leads you to the meticulous kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, a suite of Gaggenau appliances, and an abundance of storage space. Flowing into the oversized living room with formal dining areas, the double exposures overlooking the treetops complete the space. Retire to the quiet and serene bedroom, that allows plenty of natural light. The bedroom has a wall of built-out closets along the north side and a walk-in laundry room within a large storage closet. Clean lines, beamed ceilings, and wood floors throughout. Built in 1929 and converted in 1982, The Volney Residences is a full-service cooperative building. Residents enjoy white-glove service including a 24-hour doorman, a superb live-in resident manager, in addition to a landscaped rooftop terrace, a laundry room, and an additional storage cage that transfers with the apartment. The Volney allows 65% financing. Pied-à-terre purchase, central and thru-wall ACs have been approved by the Board. Subletting is allowed after one-year ownership for 12-month leases. Pet-friendly and 3% flip tax. Kindly note, that the building does not allow for weekend showings.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
